What would you do if you were expected at a party with something snacky in 15 minutes, and the cantaloupe you were planning on bringing had molded in your fruit basket? Yeah, I’d make white bean dip too, but someone was already bringing that, so I turned to my fridge — and the internet — for some speedy inspiration.
I found it in this recipe for tahini miso dip. Believe it or not, I managed to follow this four-ingredient recipe fairly closely, somewhat of a miracle for me. Instead of using red miso, though, I just used the brown rice miso I had here at home, and plain old water (I wonder what the carbonated water would do for the recipe? Make it a fluffier dip maybe?).
I dug around the fridge a bit more and found some carrot and celery to slice up into bite-sized sticks and I had myself a bringable snack.
The dip was a big hit, and the salty miso and the nutty tahini blend together so nicely. There were red pepper sticks and sesame crackers at the party that complemented the dip well, and I just know it would be perfect with snap peas.
So there you have it: a new recipe for you that has been tried and tested, and a new go-to for me to bring to parties in a pinch.
